Scenario 1:Pennywise Industries
Company: Pennywise Industries
This large enterprise wants to install one fast mono laser printer per floor, with up to 50 staff on each floor.
Approximate budget: $5000 per printer.
Requires: Eleven laser printers capable of 25-32ppm. Estimated duty cycles are 15,000-20,000 pages per month. Network connectability and remote management ability are essential.
Concerns: Total cost per page is the key criterion, but this calculation must take into account the company's estimates of usage. The availability of finishing options such as duplexers, staplers, and mail bins is a factor. Print quality and speed are not deal-makers, but will also be taken into consideration.
Best Solution: Kyocera FS-9100DN
The Kyocera FS-9100DN printer wins easily because it is the least expensive printer to own. Print speed and quality are also on its side; even though it wasn't the fastest or the sharpest printer, it offered a good balance. The FS-9100DN can also be very flexible when it comes to attaching finishing options. The only drawback is the relatively high upfront cost.
